The four games match, telecasted by ESPN, ended in a 2-2 tie. Garry Kasparov won game 3, Fritz won game 2 due to a one move blunder 32... Rg7 by Kasparov [1], and two remaining games 1 and 4 were draws. X3D Fritz ran on four IntelPentium 4Xeon CPUs at 2.8 GHz [2] . Kasparov, wearing special X3D glasses[3] , saw a X3D three-dimensional projection of the board floating in the air in front of him. He spoke his moves out loud, thus conveying them to the computer which had a speech recognition system.
Albeit in 2003 Kasparov was no longer World Chess Champion[5], he was still undisputed No. 1. This was not the case for Fritz, even if ChessBase claimed it was the most dominant chess program [6]. Junior which already drew Kasparov earlier this year, was still the reigning world champion, and after discussions with many authors of chess programs other than Fritz, the ICGA choose not to sanction the commercial event as Man vs. Machine World Championship or First World Chess Championship in Virtual Reality, but a few days before the upcoming WCCC 2003 in Graz, viewed the concept of the match as being very interesting for all chess lovers and the computer-chess community in particular [7].

^ Quote from David Levy (2003). Kasparov vs X3D Fritz. ICGA Journal, Vol. 26, No. 4, The 3D environment: "With the virtual reality environment Kasparov was calling out his moves and did not have the luxury of changing his mind when he saw the piece in the air (or on a new square). After the match his second, Yuri Dokhian, asked him simply to remove the rook from the board in game two (instead of playing it to g7), and immediately Kasparov realised that ...Rg7 would be fatal."
